In order to provide a cross cultural experience and a global perception to the students, IIMB has developed an extensive International Students Exchange Network. The Exchange Programme has become increasingly popular with the students and nearly 40% of the batch gets a chance to spend a term at a Partner Institute.
The students not on the exchange programme benefit through communication with the large number of overseas students spending a term at IIMB.

Courses while on Exchange Programme

Students who go on an Exchange Programme in term 5 must take the full course load for students at their respective University taking only post-graduate level courses that amount to not less than 120 contact hours over the exchange term.
A student can take credit for a maximum of 30 additional contact hours beyond 120, provided the course is permitted by the Office of International Affairs (OIA) Committee. Thus, a student must receive 12 -15 credits while on exchange.

A student not getting a pass grade in a course while on exchange will not get any credit from it.

The credits for courses in each exchange University will be released by the OIA.
Candidates failing to earn the mandatory credits from the exchange programme will be asked to make up the deficit by taking additional course work at IIMB in the 6th term of the same year or in the next academic year, and will not be awarded the Diploma till they complete the academic requirements.
The shortage from the exchange programme cannot be more than three credits. Registering for such additional course work is subject to meeting the requirements of the minimum and maximum credits in a term.
